Opening Teases/Theme Music/Intro Continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:15
SEGMENT #1 – "NewsWrap": The London-based human rights group Amnesty
International releases "Crimes of Hate, Conspiracy of Silence", its
first-ever report detailing abuse and torture of gays, lesbians, bisexuals,
and transgenders around the world; even as the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights is collecting data on GLBT issues, the
participation of the International Gay & Lesbian Human Rights Commission in
the upcoming U.N. General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS is challenged
by Islamic countries and the Vatican; Romania reduces the penalties for sex
in public for homo perpetrators to equal that for heteros in a continuing
effort to conform to European Union standards, while Estonia equalizes its
sexual age of consent; the American Medical Association issues a resolution
condemning anti-gay discrimination by the Boy Scouts as bad public health
policy endangering the mental health of young people, while Washington, DC's
Human Rights Commission orders the reinstatement of and compensatory damages
for 2 gay men who were kicked out of the Scouts simply for being gay; the
Texas Supreme Court dismisses a legal challenge to Houston Mayor Lee Brown's
executive order banning sexual orientation discrimination; the U.S.
Department of Agriculture issues a first-of-its-kind job opening notice for a
program specialist to serve as the Department's gay and lesbian employment man
ager; over the objections of California Governor Gray Davis, a Los Angeles
court orders the parole of Robert Rosenkrantz after he'd served 17 years for
murdering a schoolmate who had "outed" him to his father, while in Oklahoma,
Governor Frank Keating grants a stay of execution to Mexican national Gerardo
Valdez, who was convicted of killing a gay man; London's "Financial Times"
newspaper rejects an ad promoting a special music issue of the British
magazine "Gay Times" as being too "suggestive", but in Canada, the
Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission rules against a man who'd placed a
Bible-citing anti-gay ad in the Saskatoon "Star-Phoenix" newspaper, ordering
him not to publish it again and to pay C$1,500 to each of 3 gay men who'd
filed the complaint, and in France, TV regulators have blocked an ad intended
to condemn homophobia, saying that the public will view the ad itself as
anti-gay; what's believed to be Cuba's first gay wedding ceremony draws
criticism and curiosity in the Havana suburb of San Miguel del Padron, and in
what's believed to be Canada's first public monument to a gay activist,
Toronto's "gay village" area now includes George Hislop Park – though the
veteran advocate notes that it lacks an essential element, saying, "What's a
gay park without bushes?" [written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM
UNDERHILL, JASON LIN, BRIAN NUNES, CHRIS AMBIDGE, REX WOCKNER & GREG GORDON,
and anchored by DONALD HERMAN & CINDY FRIEDMAN] . . . . . . 10:45
SEGMENT #2 - "AudioFile" billboard [:20] + The filmmakers behind the 1998
gay musical "Jeanne et Le Garçon Formidable" ("Jeanne and the Perfect Guy")
are back. This time out the genre is the classic road film with a gay Gaelic
twist called "DRÔLE DE FÉLIX" or "ADVENTURES OF FELIX" (released by Winstar
Cinema), about an HIV-positive gay Arab man living in northern France who,
after losing his job, impulsively decides to bicycle along the country's
northern coast to find the father he never knew. Along the way he meets a
series of archetypal characters who become his surrogate family. This Way
Out's STEVE PRIDE chats with partnered gay co-writers/co-directors OLIVIER
DUCASTEL and JACQUES MARTINEAU about both making films and a life together
(intro and incidental music from "Jeux d'Enfants" by RENE DUPERE from
"Alegria: Cirque Du Soleil"; outro music from "Comment Te Dire Adieu"
performed by JIMMY SOMERVILLE) [8:00] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:20
SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by pioneering lesbian comic actress ELLEN DeGENERES
[:10] + Prolific singer/songwriter/activist MARGIE ADAM is back with her
8th album, the musically-ambitious "AVALON" (excerpts from the title track
and "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"), while CAM CLARKE puts a gay spin on
some popular country/folk tunes of the 1970s with his "INSIDE OUT"
("Something In The Way He Moves" and "Son of a Preacherman"), and MARK ISLAM
paints lyrical portraits of some engaging Angelenos on his latest, "THE FINE
PRINT" ("Gold Enough" and "Treading Water"). They're all featured in words
and music in this month's offerings from the "AudioFile" (hosted by CHRIS
WILSON & J.D. DOYLE and written and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM)
